@ Panzer,yes I did notice that about RT. I must admit that I have picked quite a few films to watch based on the critic's scores and never made it through the films in question.
I've lost count however of the number of films that have been recommended on here that I have thoroughly enjoyed.
If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.

this past week I watched The Bourne Legacy and I enjoyed it
and also a movie I knew I would watch eventually and enjoy but for some reason only this past month got around to it . . . the first Pirates of the Caribbean I was stunned how good it was when I saw it on release all those years ago. I was imagining it would be MAYBE worth the time I spent watching it. Instead, I bought the DVD and even the BD years later because it just worked so well. The second film I think was better in some areas. The next two weren't as good, but are worthy to see anyway because you now know the characters. The Jedi Master

The Pirates franchise definitely started getting long in the tooth for me with the third film.

Exodus: Gods and Kings - wow, Ridley really botched the Exodus story...

Exodus: Gods and Kings - wow, Ridley really botched the Exodus story... Isn't that the trend now with Hollywood? Rewriting Biblical stories in order to support some 21st century progressive dogma. It's no coincidence that Noah and Exodus came out the same year.

Horrible Bosses (2011). Man,that was funny.I didn't recognise Jennifer Aniston at all. I see there is a sequel,is that worth watching?
Mean Girls (2004). I'll admit I wouldn't know Lindsay Lohan if she came up and bit me on the leg (is that a good or a bad thing?) but she looked quite hot in 2004. I had a quick look through her list of films and this would be the only one I've seen. I found this a very funny film also.

Lindsey Lohan fell off the rails for a while but it seems like She has her life in order again. And no, she doesn't look as good as she did in 2004.

I started re-watching my Star Trek: TOS bluray discs last night so I watched "The Man Trap" which was not the first episode that was produced but it was the first to be aired.

No Country For Old Men http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477348/It wasn't difficult to see how this scooped so many positive reviews. Javier Bardem was superb as the hit-man and his character made my skin crawl.I certainly didn't expect the film to develop the way it did. Top notch entertainment

I watched "Yojimbo" by Akira Kurosawa. It's quite easy to see why and how this film inspired so many remakes.

The Squire of Gothos 5. Where No Man Has Gone Before

Oh gawd. I knew it would be bad. I wasn't expecting much from it but figured it would at least be a guilty pleasure sort of flick. I certainly didn't think it would be as bad as it was.

"The Interview" Can't let the terrorist win.  It's everything I thought it would be. There actually are funny parts. Keep wondering how it's going to turn out. The guy that played Kim Jong-un was actually pretty good. Not like I expected. Likeable and funny.

Watched Shutter Island.
Decent psychological thriller. The payoff was a let down. If they had played it better, it could have been a great film.
